5 days ago

Claude Code v2.1.321 makes Claude Fable 5.2 the default Fable model, with 1M context at $8/$40 per million tokens. Saved Fable 5.1 picks move over on Pro and Max now, on Team and Enterprise once the organization allows it. Also: an MCP OAuth refresh-token leak fixed, two sandbox and deny-rule gaps closed, a settings file for claude remote-control, and fast mode falling back to standard speed instead of losing replies. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.321 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/compare/v2.1.319...v2.1.321

  2. If you saved Fable 5.1 as your model, Claude Code moves you to Fable 5.2. Pro and Max plans move right away. Team and Enterprise plans wait until the organization allows it. Fable 5.1 stays available.

  3. Three security fixes. A redirecting MCP server could send refresh tokens to another host. A Bash command that only reads files could skip the sandbox. And deny rules missed files copied or moved into a folder.

    >Fixed: a token leak and two ways past the permission checks

    MCP OAuth
    a server redirect could send refresh tokens to another host
    Bash
    a read-only command could run outside the sandbox without a prompt
    cp and mv
    deny rules missed the file a copy or move into a folder writes

  4. Remote Control can now apply one settings file to every session it starts. If you edit that file, no new session starts until you restart Remote Control.

  5. When fast serving was rate limited or overloaded, fast mode could lose replies, switch models, or retry for minutes. Now it falls back to standard speed on the same model first.

    >Fast mode drops to standard speed instead of losing replies

    Before
    when fast serving was rate-limited or failing, replies were lost, models switched, retries ran for minutes
    Now
    tries standard speed on the same model first

  6. Bash commands sent together no longer run in the wrong folder. Edits on network drives stop hitting the wrong match or replacing whole files. And a failed git status no longer looks clean to Claude.

    Slide text
    Claude Code

    >Fixed: Bash in the wrong folder, network-path edits, a false clean git status

    Bash
    several commands sent at once could run in the wrong folder after one changed folders
    Edit
    on UNC shares, WSL folders and /net mounts, could change the wrong match or replace a whole file
    git status
    a failed check reached Claude as a clean tree; it now reads as unavailable

  7. The Claude Code changelog lists over a hundred more changes. If your MCP servers sign in with OAuth, I'd update today, for the refresh token fix alone.
